Jk Rowling is reported to be crying over the BBC adaptation of her novel, the Casual Vacancy because to her (as well as to many others), this was probably the worst ever adaptation of the book. Initially, Rowling was delighted to see a live adaptation of the novel and she was feeling obliged to the channel. As soon as the show went on air, the author and her fans were upset because the channel has modified the plot of the novel to an extent that altogether changed its meaning.
